Severus Alexander

27 February 2017

I feel of barely spoken things today

That break upon my thoughts like foamy waves

And every moment as a picture saves, 

this tide that takes my breath away

It washes me anew with freedom, gay

such that in being I should no thing crave

And nothing may my pen for long off-stave

What will record of this, that I must say-- 

 

\"Who speaks to you in their quiet little frown

hear not their thoughts, but their heart-- which is in yours

She walks alone in this troubled little town

On streets on stone marked by barred and shuttered doors

not wondered by the eyes that hide behind them

or whispered of in enshrouded intercourse\"
